The Cleveland Cavaliers unveiled plans to build a new training facility in Cleveland through a partnership with Cleveland Clinic and Bedrock.
The facility, designed by the firm Populous, could be named the Cleveland Clinic Global Peak Performance Center, with a target location on the Cuyahoga River in Downtown.
According to the Cavs, the facility would be a"top-notch landing place for athletes from numerous sports" and would offer nutrition, training, treatment and recovery services to athletes by the hospital system's medical teams. The Cleveland Clinic said the new facility will help grow its sports medicine programs here in Northeast Ohio.
Cleveland City Councilman Kerry McCormick called the location of the proposed facility a superb addition to Downtown.
